Shampoos and myth …
In this article, we will talk about shampoos, what they are, and what you need to pay attention to when choosing them. Dispel marketing myths and reveal some secrets 
Shampoos for moisturizing, nourishing, and against hair loss and brittle hair is purely a marketing ploy 
. The main task of the shampoo is to cleanse the scalp and root zone of excess oil and dirt! Even if the manufacturer indicates a large number of extracts and oils in the composition of shampoos, the action will still be so insignificant that it cannot cope with the main problem. The main thing you need to pay attention to when choosing a shampoo is the main cleanser, which we will talk about below 
In products for curly hair 
, the composition is identical as in products for other types of hair, so in most cases, such products will not work for you, because there is a high content of silicones and if there is not at least a minimum fixation, then the curl under the weight of silicones will be more direct, but not completely straighten. If, for example, you take a 10 in 1 leave-in conditioner with a light fixation, then, on the contrary, it will help to form a curl and remove excess fluffiness, as well as protect the hair during drying, additionally moisturize and nourish the hair.
It’s necessary to take a shampoo, balm, or mask of the same line, otherwise, they will not work – this is also a commercial myth 
!
Each brand and its product lines have its strengths and weaknesses, as well as scalp type, hair structure, and hair condition, and this is a large variety of combinations that one brand cannot always satisfy. What is important
is to choose the products that are right for you, and these can be products of different lines and brands.
Masks, balms, and conditioners for oily hair type is another myth!
The fact is that an oily type of hair is actually an oily type of scalp and no hair length, and masks, balms, and conditioners are applied to the length of the hair but not in any case to the scalp or root zone since silicones and conditioning agents are simply clogging pores, create an unnecessary film and aggravate the situation.
And so the rule of applying masks, balms, and conditioners – these products are applied only along the length of the hair, retreating from the root zone by about 2-3 cm. If you have short hair, then take a small amount of the product, rub it in your palms, and try to distribute it with light upward movements on the ends of your hair, imagine that you are styling an erokez
Shampoos for oily hair or deep cleaning shampoos….
you need to be very careful with these products, their frequent use harms the skin and destroys the length of the hair. Their compositions are more aggressive and, with frequent use, dry out the skin and destroy the natural skin barrier, as well as dry out the hair, as a result of which their cuticular layer is destroyed. It is recommended to use this shampoo for oily scalp no more than once a week. That is, this shampoo should not be the main cleanser, but only an additional one in your arsenal. You can also use an alternative product such as volumizing shampoo, which is milder and has good cleansing properties without harming the skin and hair. Do not be afraid of his appointment, this is also a marketing ploy ! it will not give you more volume than a deep cleansing or oily hair shampoo. The fact is that the effect of volume is achieved due to a well-cleansed root zone that is not hardened with silicones and oils, there really is no super component
But for example, if you dye your hair or you have thin hair for children, then a shampoo for volume will not suit you. The color will quickly wash off from dyed hair, but children’s thin hair will dry out. In other cases, it has no restrictions.
The next rule ! The main purpose of the shampoo is cleansing and no more, it is recommended to wash your hair twice and, if necessary, a third time, depending on the degree of contamination, but not once is critically insufficient. The frequency with which it is recommended to wash your hair no more than once every two days! The main ingredient that you should pay attention to in shampoos is the cleansing base, everything else is lyrics)
And so we moved on to the thorny subject of cleansing shampoo bases. If not scientifically, then they can be divided into aggressive soft, and natural
First of all, it is a washing shampoo base, it should not contain aggressive surfactants such as Ammonium lauryl sulfate and Ammonium laureth sulfate! Sodium lauryl / laureth sulfate should also be abandoned in favor of milder detergents. These are mild detergents that will not irritate the skin, and therefore cause even more production of sebum (sebum). Also, these components do not provoke the appearance of itching and discomfort on the skin.
